Chris Goffinet commented on CASSANDRA-3483:
-------------------------------------------
Yeah as Brandon mentioned, we would still want to go into the bootstrap state
to get those writes. This would also allow us to add capacity in the same way,
if we manually pick tokens (auto bootstrap is kinda worthless IMO) to existing
DC as well. We can just fire off the bootstrap command from nodetool as needed.

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2
> Reporter: Chris Goffinet
>
> Was talking to Brandon in irc, and we ran into a case where we want to bring
> up a new DC to an existing cluster. He suggested from jbellis the way to do
> it currently was set strategy options of dc2:0, then add the nodes. After the
> nodes are up, change the RF of dc2, and run repair.
> I'd like to avoid a repair as it runs AES and is a bit more intense than how
> bootstrap works currently by just streaming ranges from the SSTables. Would
> it be possible to improve this functionality (adding a new DC to existing
> cluster) than the proposed method? We'd be happy to do a patch if we got some
> input on the best way to go about it.
